Anything that increases gradient across dynamic outflow tract obstruction:
- Exercise
- Standing from squatting

What decreases intensity of murmur in HCM?
Anything that decreases gradient across dynamic outflow tract obstruction:
1. Systemic vasoconstriction (Phenylephrine)

High frequency click immediately after S1 and heard best at apex?
Bicuspid AV
Click + Suprasternal notch thrill in bicuspid aortic valve… where is stenosis likely located?
Valvular
Versus subvalvar or supravalvular
Describe a PV ejection click
After S1, but with respiratory variation (louder with expiration)
Describe MVP click
- Early systole with patient standing
- Later in systole with squatting or supine
Dark brown freckle like spots on body (increasing with age), sensorineural deafness, short stature, murmur, ECG with 1st degree AV block… what will you find on echo?
PS and LVH
LEOPARD syndrome
What does LEOPARD syndrome stand for?
Letigines ECG conduction defects Ocular hypertelorism PS Abnormal genitals Retarded growth (subsequent short stature) Deafness
How is LEOPARD syndrome inherited?
AD
What syndrome does LEOPARD share features with?
Noonan
PTPN11 and RAF1 mutations?
LEOPARD syndrome
What position do you expect a Still’s murmur to increase in intesnity?
Supine
Indications for pericardiocentesis?
Clinical Tamponade:
- Hypotension
- Low CO
- Pulsus paradoxus >10mmHg
- Bacterial pericarditis
- Immunocompromised hosts
- Unclear etiology
What is pulsus paradoxus?
> 10mmhg decrease in SBP during inspiration
(Normally SBP decreases by 4-6mmHg during inspiration due to decreased intrathoracic pressure and increased capacity of pulmonary venous bed)
Boy with recurrent sinusitis, dextrocardia, stomach bubble on right and bronchiectasis on CT?
Kartagener
How is Kartagener inheristed?
AR
Situs inversus, bronchiectasis, immotility of cilia in respiratory tract
Kartagener
Which syndrome has increased risk of infection secondary to T-cell dysfunction?
DiGeorge
Thrombocytopenia, eczema, immune deficiency?
Wiskott-Aldrich
How is Wiskott-Aldrich interited?
X-linked
How is Carney Complex inherited?
AD
Skin hyperpigmentation, endocrine overactivity, myxomas of skin and heart?
Carney Complex
What type of IAA is most common in AP septation defects?
A: Distal to L subclavian with severe coarctation
What type of IAA is seen in up to 1/3 of cases?
A
What type of IAA is seen most commonly in DiGeorge?
B: Between left carotid and left subclavian
How often is type C IAA seen?
<1%, very rare
C: Proximal to left carotid
True or False: Type D IAA is not compatible with life?
True
LAD on ECG in an infant?
- AVCD (complete or partial)
- Tricuspid atresia (+/- TGA)
*AVCD tend to have more superior axis (-60 to -100 degrees)
Differential for teen with persistent sinus tachycardia?
- Hyperthyroidism
- Substance abuse
- Pheochromocytoma
- Autonomic dysfunction
- Tachyarrhythmia
Eating disorder patients commonly have what on ECG?
Bradycardia
Heat intolerance, sweating, palpitations, weigh loss, insomnia, irritability?
Hyperthyroidism
Episodic symptoms of sweating, HTN, tachycardia?
Pheochromocytoma
What condition can produce an autonomic neuropathy involving inappropriate tachycardia?
Diabetes

- Carditis
- Chorea
- Polyarthritis
- Subcutaneous nodules
Minor criteria for rheumatic fever?
